"I don't know when "flat affect" was taken out of the DSM, but it sorta threw Philip K. Dick out with the bathwater. The acceptance of a certain flavor of insanity as the norm is what the sixties were all about."

Rereading since childhood---I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now ( I wish)---Alice In Wonderland cause of C of L49..........that effect of Alice unhysterically, simply accepting/trying to make sense of the craziness of her world...is remarkable.....
